What's New in Enterprise JavaBean Technology
This session will provide an overview of Enterprise JavaBean (EJB) 3.1 technology. The session is intended for enterprise Java developers interested in learning about the most recent release of the EJB specification: 3.1. In this session, attendees will learn : * How the latest specification further simplifies EJB development * New EJB features such as Singletons, asynchronous invocations, and calendar-based automatic timers * How EJB 3.1 works well with other Java EE 6 technologies, such as Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) and JAX-RS. The speaker, who is a practitioner and has built applications using EJB3.0, shares his experience, how design changed with EJB, advantages in using EJB and lessons learnt.

Implications Of Java Memory Model
We start with an introduction to Java Memory Model (JMM) and its role in the Java concurrent programming. Analyze the usage of the underlying processor architecture by Java to provide JMM guarantees. We will use the volatile keyword as a example to do the analysis. We will wind-up the presentation with Atomics and Lock-Free Algorithms

Simplifying Development and Testing of GUIs with the Swing Application Framework (JSR 296) and FEST
A scientific survey of Swing developers discovers that of more than 2.5 jillions of applications written in past 8-9 years, most of them employ smaller teams, built by developers with less experience and time than the authors of big IDE's. To make it easier for the average developer to start develop an average swing application, a small desktop application framework is needed. Also, well written swing applications tend to have the same core elements for startup and shutdown, and for managing resources, actions, and session state. New applications create all of these core elements from scratch. Java SE does not provide any support for structuring applications, and this often leaves new developers feeling a bit adrift, particularly when they're contemplating building an application whose scale goes well beyond the examples provided in the SE documentation. Swing application framework fill these voids by defining the basic structure of the Swing applications for simplifying the application development. FEST is collection of APIs, whose mission is to simplify software testing which consists of various modules including Functional GUI Testing, Fluent Assertions, Fluent Reflection and EasyMock templates. This session will help you simplifying development and testing of Swing applications.

Power your JVM with Effective Garbage Collection Tuning
Starting with the basics of generational memory structure inside Java heap, I will explain different algorithms of garbage collection. A participant in my talk should be able to do the following after participating: * Understand how memory is structured in the JVM * Know the various GC schemes * Understand which GC algorithm to choose in what circumstances * Know how to read raw Garbage collection verbose logs * Be able to identify problems and how to approach solving that problem

TRACK B: Architecture and SOA

The Architecture and SOA track focuses on the structure behind applications, examining different approaches to designing applications that perform and scale.

Pragmatic Architecture
Building an application is not the straightforward exercise it used to be. Decisions regarding which architectural approaches to take (n-tier, client/server), which user interface approaches to take (Smart/rich client, thin client, Ajax), even how to communicate between processes (Web services, distributed objects, REST)... it's enough to drive the most dedicated designer nuts. This talk discusses the goals of an application architecture and why developers should concern themselves with architecture in the first place. Then, it dives into the meat of the various architectural considerations available; the pros and cons of JavaWebStart, ClickOnce, SWT, Swing, JavaFX, GWT, Ajax, RMI, JAX-WS, , JMS, MSMQ, transactional processing, and more.

10.40 AM - 11.20 AM: Session 2
Appliance-based architectures for high performance data intensive applications
Many model applications no longer are only data intensive or only compute intensive. They are a combination of compute and data; so traditional architectural approaches of pulling data from storage, processing and pushing back no longer works. DW appliances embody an approach in which processing is taken close to the data resulting in 100s increase in performance. This approach will improve performance of complex applications.

Creating an Event-Driven SOA
In this session, you will learn how to create an Event-Driven SOA so you can build systems that maximize loose coupling and provide rich data analysis opportunities in near time. Thinking in events is different from classical procedural programming. This session will make you acquainted with the different thinking structures of EDA and the possibilities that lie in them. It explains why loose coupling in combination with EDA will lead into a much leaner overall service-based infrastructure and a lean SOA.

RESTful Web Services
This talk describes an agile approach to architecture, and merges the current state-of-the-art thinking in both service oriented architectures (SOA) and web-based architectures like HTTP, REST, and hypermedia. There is a shift going on in the Enterprise. While still used and useful, the promises of the SOAP/WSDL/UDDI Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) stack have failed to live up to their promise. A new vision of linked information is enveloping online and Enterprise users. The REST architectural style is squarely behind this thinking as a way of achieving low-cost, flexible integration, increased data security, greater scalability and long-term migration strategies. If you have dismissed REST as a toy or are unfamiliar with it, you owe it to yourself to see what is so interesting about this way of doing things.
